KershKicks began as a passion project rooted in sneaker culture and shaped by global inspiration. Our journey started in 2014, when co-founder Sam Kersh immersed himself in the vibrant sneaker scenes of New York and Los Angeles.

Fast forward to 2019, and KershKicks took form as Manchester’s very first Buy–Sell–Trade sneaker store. Founded by brothers Sam and Ben Kersh, the store opened its doors in the heart of the Northern Quarter, quickly becoming a magnet for sneaker enthusiasts across the UK. Our reputation for rare deadstock pieces has drawn notable names like KSI, Carlos Alcaraz, Pep Guardiola, and so many other famous faces, adding to the vibrant energy of our community.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, we transitioned swiftly online, launching kershkicks.co.uk to keep the culture alive even as doors temporarily closed. In 2021, we expanded with our Glasgow location in the Italian Centre. Then, in 2022, we brought the energy to Liverpool with a pop-up store, continuing our tradition of accessible sneaker culture and cementing our place as the UK’s premier Buy–Sell–Trade store.

At our core, KershKicks is about authenticity, community, and curation. Our stores host a loyal fan base of sneakerheads who return time and again, from local enthusiasts to high-profile names. We’re a friendly starting point for anyone looking to dive into sneaker culture and become part of our tight-knit community.
